The Fujifilm has outdone themselves this time. The E has a silver colored case with textured grip and an easy to use pop up flash. With all that, the Fine Pix E only weighs . ounces (. by . by . inches). However, the cover for the USB, A/V, and DC-power connections isnt attached to the camera making it an easy item to lose. Probably the best part of the camera is the vibrant inch LCD screen that provides a sharp and accurate preview for your snapshots. Other cameras in this price range cant compete with the FinePIx E.

The E has tons of great features that put it out of its league. It has four modes: Sport, Night, Landscape, and portrait that automatically adjust the ISO setting, flash, and shutter speed all with one click. If youre an expert you will like all the customized settings including the shutter priority, aperture priority, and programmed auto modes for the camera. The FinePix E offers an array of great focus options which include: center-weighted spot focus, manual focus, or multiweighted focus. The x optical zoom gives you a great range from mm to mm. With all that even the pickiest shopper would be satisfied.

When I first tried out the camera, I wasnt expecting much due to its cheap price. I was blown off my feet by its amazing speed. The elapsed time from pressing the button to the camera taking the shot is an amazing . seconds on average. Compare that to the . seconds on my old Olympus camera that was more expensive. The automatic focus works really well in both bright environments and dim environments. However, its a little difficult to see your subject when taking pictures in dim places. Whats really impressive is the LCD screen. Typically, lower end cameras have inaccurate LCD screens showing only % of whats in the real picture. The Fine Pix Es LCD screen has almost % coverage of the real picture, so you dont have to guess or get out the Photoshop to crop.

The big question is can the E do all this without making you go through mountains of batteries? In recent test results, using the AA alkaline cells the E was able to capture pictures before dying off.

The Fuji FinePix E is one of the best cameras in its price range costing under a hundred dollars providing a splendid LCD screen, great features, and an amazing speed, it makes a great gift for any photographer.
